RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: RFMD), a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor technologies, today announced the launch of its broadband 6-bit digital step attenuator product portfolio, with the availability of the RFSA2614 and the RFSA2624. RFMD's newest high-performance components are optimized for operation across multiple market segments, including 3G/4G/LTE cellular infrastructure, WiMAX, wireless backhaul and other high-performance wireless communications applications.

RFMD's RFSA2614 and RFSA2624 digital step attenuators (DSAs) feature a 6-bit design with both serial or parallel mode programming, covering a broad frequency range from 50MHz to 4000MHz. Radio designers can use RFMD's DSAs to adjust the gain of high linearity receive and transmit channels over a 31.5dB range with 0.5dB step resolution. The new DSAs deliver industry-leading performance, highlighted by superior settling time of 200ns, as well as a P1dB (1 dB compression point) of 27dBm and a IIP3 (3rd-order intercept point) of +48dBm.

In addition to the RFSA2614 and RFSA2624, RFMD supplies a very broad range of high-performance, price competitive catalog components for use in multiple end markets and across numerous applications.
